1 -1 Introduction to
Marking Software
This section describes functions of marking software.
Relationship between Marking Software and Computer
It is no exaggeration to say that: “If there are no computers, there can be no laser markers.”
The computer is responsible for making and editing marking files (including the image capture when
image scanners or other image capture devices are equipped), controlling the movement of
galvanometer to scan the contents of marking file on the surface of workpiece by laser, controlling the
modulation frequency of acousto-optic Q switch, controlling the speed of marking and so on.
The computer control system of a laser marker includes a computer, an interface board dedicated for
computer marking and the marking software.
Relationship between Marking Software and Overall Laser Marker
The special interface board plays the role in transforming the digital signals sent by the computer into
analog signals or directly sending out the digital signals of computer, thereby driving X and Y
galvanometers to control the movement of laser beam in the space. It can produce the synchronous
Q switch modulated signals, thereby producing pulsed laser, so that the contents of marking graphics
can be etched accurately and completely on the surface of processing objects.
Marking control software is the core of computer control system. There are many laser marker
manufacturers worldwide and they manufacture a wide variety of laser markers. However, these
markers are almost alike in their hardware configuration; what mainly differentiates them is the
marking software. Marking software is the technical core of manufacturers and decides performances
of laser markers.
1-2 HAN’S LASER MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0

1-2 Introduction to
Laser Marking
2
This section introduces principle, characteristics and classification of laser marking.
Characteristics of Laser Marking
According to the material to be processed, select suitable lasers and laser power or power density.
Most metal or non-metal materials can be processed by laser.
Laser is a non-mechanical “tool” for processing, producing no mechanical extrusion or mechanical
stress to the material, and the user doesn’t have to worry the problem of wear that usually occurs to
the conventional mechanical tooling; in addition, laser processing does not cause environmental
pollution. Laser can perform processing in the air or in certain protective gases; and it doesn’t produce
X-rays, and won’t be affected by the interference of electric and magnetic fields. Laser can process,
through transparent materials, the internal parts and components, and the consumption of materials is
very small. Laser processing causes no thermal deformation; in addition, with the reflection of prism
or reflector, laser can also perform processing on internal surfaces or inclined surfaces of parts.
It is easy to operate, and easy to achieve automated processing by combining CNC technology, and
also can be used to make high-speed and high-efficiency processing of parts in the production line as
a part of flexible machining system. It has good quality of processing and can make the fine
processing with precision worktable.
Unique Advantages of Laser Marking
1. It can mark bar codes, serial number characters, graphics, images, etc.
2. It won’t fade away naturally due to environmental reasons (such as dampness, acid and alkaline
atmosphere), but keep permanently, and can’t be faked easily.
3. Good quality of marking – it belongs to non-contact processing without damage of products.
4. High efficiency – it is easy to carry out automatic control by the computer to achieve automation; it
does not require halt or heating cure of the machine during processing; it can mark one or a group of
characters and patterns at one time; and even can mark several parts simultaneously
5. Low cost of processing – although it needs the higher one-time investment of equipment, after the
continuous and large numbers of processing, the cost of each part will be very low ultimately, so as to
create high returns.
Because of the above merits, it has strong anti-falsification, especially the color marking can have
different shades of color. Generally, when metal materials are marked, due to the ablated lines with
different depths and thickness, the color and the reflection rate are different from the original, resulting
in contrast effects; and for glass and plastic products, laser marking can produce contrast and matte
effects.
Classification of Laser Marking

Laser marking is divided into three categories: mask marking, dot matrix marking and galvanometer
linear scanning marking.
Mask marking: it doesn’t require a whole system and can make a marking device by itself to complete
the processing for reducing cost; it has high processing efficiency, and can mark a group of characters,
codes or records with a pulse, and can make processing of more than 1000 parts (semi-finished
products or finished products and packaging bags) at the fastest speed (up to 30 pcs /s), and also up
to 3pc/s at the lowest speed. Its disadvantage is to need the mask (each kind of parts require a mask),
and it can’t modify the characters or patterns on the mask immediately with the change of products
(that is, poor flexibility).
Dot matrix marking: normally, seven points are required for the vertical stroke, and five points are
required for the horizontal stroke, so as to form a 7×5 dot matrix.
Galvanometer linear scanning marking: Its area can vary with the scope from 50mm×50mm to
300mm×300mm, and can mark a variety of text characters, graphics and images, and can mark for a
few of small parts simultaneously, and also mark a variety of texts and graphics for a part. It changes
flexibly and conveniently to mark the complex graphics and images, but its speed is lower than that of
mask marking.

this option to change it. The coefficient is expressed in percentage, and 100 indicating standard
proportion.
Word spacing
The distance (in mm) between two adjacent characters. For the user-defined font, if it is set to 0,
which means using the font internal space, otherwise it is using the current space..
Row spacing
The distance (in mm) between two adjacent rows. If it is set to 0, which means normal spacing.
There are two methods to select an barcode object, frame-select t or click to select it. The so-called
“frame-select” is to select a starting point, hold down the left mouse button to drag out a dotted
rectangle frame, so that the rectangle frame contains the selected object; And the so-called
“click-select” is to click the left mouse button to select the object. For each part of barcode (barcode,
fixed text and serial number), it supports both the two methods.. When selecting a certain part of
the barcode by a frame, other parts of the barcode will also be selected. .
The barcode can be rotated, but after rotating it can not be dragged( only placed
Note horizontally or vertically can be dragged). The new software is allowed to drag when
editing in the red epibolic frame.
Barcode examples
1. PDF417 2D codes
PDF417 is a multi-layer, variable length and continuous two-dimension barcode with high capacity
and the ability of error correction.

Barcode lines: The symbol of each PDF417 barcode is stacked by multi layers, and the number of
its layers is 3-90. But this kind of barcode has fixed area, so if you increase the value of “Barcode
lines”, the barcode will become intensive and unclear.
2. Data Matrix 2D codes

Data Matrix is a symbol of matrix-type two-dimension barcode. It has two types of ECC000-140 and
ECC200.
Error correction type: The ECC000-140 symbol uses the convolution code for error correction,
providing five levels of error correction, as shown in the following table. The increase of error
correction level is sure to increase the length of bit stream, resulting in increasing the size of Data
Matrix symbol, while ECC200 uses the Reed-Solomon algorithm to calculate the error correction
code words through the generator polynomial.
Level of error correction code Recoverable information（%） Increase of user bit stream
000 No No
050 2.8 33
080 5.5 50
100 12.6 100

Barcode shape:
ECC000-140 only has the odd rows and odd columns. The symbol is a square with the size from
9*9 to 49*49.
ECC200 only has even rows and even columns. Its shape has the square and rectangle, and the
size of square is from 10*10 to 144*144; the size of rectangle is from 8*18 to 16*48. For details, see

In the HAN’S LASER MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 system, except making drawings by yourself, you
can also directly import graphics and drawings in other standard formats. For the type of import
objects, you can view it by clicking the pull-down menu of File type from the above dialog box.
Such types are included as PLT files in HP-GL format, DXF files(only support some files), BMP files,
etc. Theses files can be generated through some general processing software, for example, PLT
files and DXF files generated by AutoCAD, PLT files, DXF files and BMP files generated by
CorelDRAW, and BMP files, JPG files, PNG files, ICO files generated by Photoshop.

Use the above-mentioned software to generate the above files, and then use the import function,
and you can use the files in the HAN’S LASER MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 system; in addition,
after being imported, the object is kept in proper size and you need not make further adjustment to
it. The imported object is a grouped object, you can use the Ungroup command to split it into
multiple distinct objects.
On the supporting of old version DXF files, the current version of software has
improved a lot, since the DXF file is complex, it is difficult to guarantee all DXF files
Note can be imported correctly, if the DXF file can not be imported, it is recommended to
convert to PLT format.

3 -2 Edit Drawings
This section introduces how to edit graphics/drawings in the HAN’S LASER

MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 system.
Dot editing
Choose Edit-> Option.
And the system goes to the System Setting dialog box;

Filter point precision
Shortcut key: Ctrl + F

To set the accuracy of dot object. When dot spacing is less than the set value, dots within the set
value will be filtered out. When dot spacing is greater than the set value, the dots will kept
unchanged.
Point moving step
To set the step size for each movement of dot. The shortcut key is (M). To go to the dot editing
status, press the M key, and the following dialog box is displayed:
Micro moving step
This parameter is used to set the movement distance for each operation when you use arrow keys
of keyboard to move a selected object.
Pick up precision
This parameter is used to set the sensitivity for the mouse to pick up objects.
The greater the value is, the higher the sensitivity is. However, in this case, it’s difficult to
distinguish two overlapped objects.
If the sensitivity is low, it’s difficult to select an object, but easy to distinguish two overlapped
objects.
Undo level
This parameter is used to set level of undo/redo. The greater the value is, the higher the level is.
And as a result, memory consumption becomes greater. The settings take effect when a new file is
opened.
Polygon break precision
Select a point, and click Breakpoint, and as a result, the selected point will break into two points.
This parameter is used to set the distance from the point to the center.

Round precision
Chamfer operation is to make treatment to sharp corners so that they become smooth, thereby
improving the marking effect of the software. Go the click-select status, and press the shortcut key
V.
Layer count
The maximum layers in the marking interface, and the maximum value is up to 256.
Min. distance for line-joint
If the distance of two adjacent points is shorter than this value(default is 0.0001)when curved lines
joining, they will be jointed automatically.
Continue marking when the protective door closed
False: Disenable. If option of “Pause marking when the protective door open” is checked,
marking will not continue automatically when closing the protective door.
True: Enable. If option of “Pause marking when the protective door open” is checked, marking
will continue automatically when closing the protective door.
Turn off the red-light automatically when marking
False: Disenable. The red-light will not turn off when marking.
True: Enable. Turn off the red-light first, then start marking. For the red-light-indicating IPG laser,
this option must be open.
Red-light preview layer
The layer used red-light preview, the default is the ninth layer.
Fill settings of vector graphics
Initial settings of objects
After selecting a vector graphic in the drawing area, click the tool from the toolbar button,
and the following dialog box will be displayed:

Definition of parameters
【Enable】Enable fill
【Fill line rotates with the contour】When rotating the graph, the contour line rotates with the
object.
【Equalize distance】To automatically do the fine adjustment of all the equalize distances between
fill lines so as to get equal-distance.
【Distance】To set the distance between fill lines, its unit is mm.
【Angle】To set the angle of fill lines, its unit is degree.
【Type】To set the filling type, now it is support types of one-way, one-way with end-to-end
connected, reciprocating, reciprocating with end-to-end connected.
【Mininal jump】If select the end-to end mode, only the distance between end and end smaller
than this value can the end connect to the end.
【Start offset】The distance between the frame and the starting points that needs not fill.
【End offset】he distance between the frame and the ending points that needs not fill
【Line reduction】Reduction of fill line ends.
【Beamcomp】Size of laser beam.
【Numloops】The scaling loop of scaling fill, only valid for enclosed object.
【Distanceloop】Size of each scaling, only valid for enclosed object
【Delete loop-contour】Delete the new contour generated after reduction or extension.
【Align】Check this option, the laser spot on the fill line will align, but it will cost extra time. Besides,
if the Q frequency is too low the ends may appear saw teeth, which can be improved by increasing
the Q frequency.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
【Fill count】Cycle times when progression filling.
【Increase distance】When progression filling, if the increase distance between current filling
space and last filling space is 0, it means the two spaces are the same.

【Increase angle】When progression filling, if the increase angle between current filling angle and
last filingl angle is 0, it means the two angles are the same.
【Remark contour】When progression filling, whether remark the contour after completing the
marking of one set of fill lines.
Note The scaling operation is only valid for enclosed object. The progression fill can
execute more complicated fill.
Fill of a grouped object
1. Draw multiple overlapped objects (e.g. circles and rectangles).

2. Pick these objects (e.g. circles and rectangles).
3. Group all these objects (to group the circles and rectangles into a single object).
4. Fill the objects, and the following filling effect will be generated:
Fill of multiple overlapped objects
1. Draw multiple overlapped objects (e.g. circles and rectangles).

2. Pick these objects (e.g. circles and rectangles).
3. Fill the objects, and the following filling effect will be produced:
Changing settings of fill lines

1. Pick the fill object you want to change.
2. Choose the Fill command.
3. Change the fill properties.
4. Click OK.
Remove fill lines
1. Pick the fill object you want to change.

2. Choose the Fill command.
3. Change the Line spacing to 0.
4. Click OK.
Move fill lines to other layers
If you want to set the frame and filling content to different layers, you should right-click the mouse in
the range of the selected object, and then select “Layer Settings” in the pull-down menu, or you can
directly use the layer parameters setting of marking parameters in the software interface, and the
corresponding dialog box is as follows:
In option 1, set the layer of frame (the number 0-7; by default, it corresponds to the marking
parameter set of layer 0), and in option 2, set the layer of filling content (the number 0-7; by default,
it corresponds to the marking parameter set of layer 0). After finishing the settings, click the OK
button to exit. And the selected object will change its color according to the selected layer. (To
change the marking parameter set, you need to deselect layer 0 first.)
After setting and selecting the object in marking parameters, the user can directly double-click the
left mouse button on the used layer.
And if you want to change the filled content, you can select [Fill] and then directly double-click the
left mouse button on the layer to be used.
Bitmap settings
Select a bitmap image, and then click the icon from Bitmap setting, and the following dialog
box is displayed:

Choose Reverse color according to the marking materials. If the material becomes dark
after marking, it’s unnecessary to choose Reverse color; otherwise, choose it.
Select Gray Pic to make 256 grayscale bitmap marking.
Point spacing settings
X-axis: it is usually set according to marking effect. By default, it is set to 0.05mm.
Y-axis: it is usually set to the same value as X-axis. When the requirements on
marking effect are not so high, you can increase this value so as to improve
marking efficiency.
Contrast: to set the contrast of images according to actual marking effect
requirements.
Brightness: to set the brightness of images according to actual marking effect
requirements.
Bitmap has two processing methods: Gray Pic and DiffPic, the contrast of Gray Pic is
excellent, which is suitable for processing high quality pictures, the working principle of
DiffPic is to change the picture visual effect through adjusting the density of points, which is
suitable for the machine that unable to adjust energy quickly, such as IPG.
IPG does not support the Gray Pic processing method; only DiffPic processing method can
process it. Besides, here the setting of signal-point time is invalid; you can only adjust
through the Laser OFF Delay of marking parameter.
The Gray Pic marking is mainly to control the single-point energy to achieve the
Note requirement, while DiffPic marking is mainly to control the density of points to meet
the marking effect requirement.
Relationship between bitmap settings and marking parameters
Marking speed: to adjust marking speed according to dot spacing and Q frequency so as to
prevent Q frequency from exceeding the specified range. Q frequency is automatically
obtained through the “Marking speed/X-axis dot spacing=Q frequency”.
Q frequency: invalid to bitmap images.
Q release time: valid.
Current/Power: invalid to bitmap images.
Laser On delay/Laser OFF delay: usually set to 0 for bitmap marking.

Sort
Object sort is divided into manual sort, automatic sort, sort by leader line and quick sort.
1. Manual sort
In this mode, it is to sort objects by clicking them. The sequence of objects depends on the
sequence in which they are clicked. Manual sort can also exchange the sequence of objects and
set the order in which objects are dynamically inserted.

2. Sort by leader line
Select the object to be sorted, click the trend sorting icon, then use a straight line to connect all the
objects on the interface, double-click the mouse button when completed and all the objects will be
arranged in order and in the trend of the straight line.
3. Quick sort
The quick sort is a kind of sorting method specially designed for the imported graphs in PLT and
DXF format. Since it is processing based on the line-level, after quick sorting the object will be
locked and not allowed to do any operation on it.
Click the Quick sort icon again to recover the original data and the object will unlock automatically.
See following figures:
: Icon before quick sort
: Icon after quick sort

The object is unlocked
If the object is locked, the frame of datum point becomes red.
Two path-optimization types are available for quick sort:
If check the option of stroke first, the marking will proceed according to the optimal path of motion,
in this case, it may shift layer frequently.
If check the option of layer first, the marking will preferentially proceed marking according to the
layer order, and adopts the optimal path to mark the object in each layer, then switch to next layer
and proceed the sorting marking for the objects on that layer.
It is recommended to select according to the process requirements. For the sensitive

Note material, type of layer first is preferred.
4. Automatic sort
When the number of objects is more than six, and if you want the most efficient path-optimization,
automatic sort is your best choice. The automatic sort takes longer time, but the optimizing
efficiency is high. The sorting procedure will be real-time displayed (see below figure) and you can
interrupt whenever you want

This kind of sort requires manual intervention to stop, if the variation of eff value is very
Note
small or it keeps still, it indicates that the sorting efficiency already reached peak value
and you can double-click the sorting object to stop sorting.

4 -2 Multi-document Mark
This section introduces various function of multi-document marking of HAN’S

Introduction to multi-document mark
For the general workable, it will move a certain distance (or rotate a certain angle) after one marking,
and another marking will be followed and then the worktable will move again (or rotate), …,
recycling and so on. This worktable doesn’t involve the accelerated and decelerated motion,
two-axis interpolation, movement segmentation for marking continuous patterns and other features.
As long as the worktable meets the above requirements, it can be controlled directly by
multi-document marking way. In the software, users can open multiple documents (which can have
the same marking pattern or different ones), and set the movement of worktable after finishing the
marking for each document. According to user’s settings, the software will call out each document
in turn to operate. When there are multiple documents needing the continuous marking, you can
call up this function to deal with them.
Multi-document mark
Operation procedures
1. For the patterns to be marked, you can create a new document or open the document to
make the corresponding drawings in turn.
2. Click the Mark-> Multi-document mark, and the following dialog box is displayed:

All the current opened documents are listed in turn in the list box at the upper-left corner of dialog
box, and the arranged order is the marking order. According to the requirement, you can change
the marking order by clicking the “Move Up” and “Move Down” buttons. Click the “Delete” button
and you can delete the current selected document from the list box (but the document itself won’t
be deleted).
[Keyboard, mouse or foot-pedal trigger]: if this option is selected, each time when
marking of a document is finished, you need to manually trigger the next marking
document; otherwise, the system automatically mark all the documents in order.
[Marking times]: it is the number of the documents whose marking has been finished.
[Single time]: it is the time required for marking a document.
[Total time]: it is the time required for automatically or manually marking all the
documents.
[Working mode]: to choose the different working mode.

document displayed in reverse color in the list box.
3. Properties
It is used to set motion parameters of worktable when the marking of each document is finished.
Move model: Select Absolute Motion or Relative Motion, Absolute Motion is easy to control but
may generate cumulative error.
Move type: Select different move types and the working speed will be different.
Quantity of motion: For linear motion, the quantity of value is in mm, for rotary motion, the quantity
of value is in degree.
4. Save:
To save all the parameters (including documents, properties, sequence, etc) of the present
multi-document marking so that it they can be used again. The file is saved in the extension name
of mul.
If error occurs when saving the parameters, the reason of which may be that the
Note
marked documents haven’t been saved separately. So you should exit the state of
multi-document marking, and save each document in turn.

5. Opening multi-document file
Make sure there is no opened documents, and then click File -> Open multi-document…, and you
can open the *.mul multi-document file.
Examples of application
Example 1: Arc marking

For marking on a larger arc surface, you can divide the marking content into a few segments to
make multiple documents. And with this function, each time when marking of a part of the marking
pattern is finished, the motor will rotate by a certain angle so as to make the continuous marking, for
example, engraving symbols on a drill.
Example 2: Large-range marking

For marking a larger range of pattern, you can divide the marking contents into a few segments to
make multiple documents. And with this function, each time when marking of a part of the marking
pattern is finished, the motor will move a certain distance so as to make the continuous marking, for
example, engraving keyboards.

4 -3 Offline Mark
This section introduces offline mark operation procedures of HAN’S LASER

Introduction to offline mark
Offline mark means that the marking is directly controlled by marking control card instead of upper
computer (computer), and marking contents and parameters are saved in the marking control card.
To change marking contents or parameters, you need to connect the marking control card to
computer and make changes through computer and then re-download them.
Applicable situations of offline mark: after debugging, if there is no need to change marking patterns
and parameters frequently and there are external trigger signals available, you can use the offline
mark mode.
Offline mark of single-document
1) Connect to the computer and make debugging to ensure the marking effect is satisfied.
2) Select the objects to be marked.
3) Click (download button), or click the Offline download button at the right lower corner,
or directly push the F11 key.
4) In the download process, a progress bar is displayed. You can stop the download operation.
5) After download, you can use the foot switch signal on the marking control card to control the
marking process.

6) In offline operating process, if you re-enable the download function, the following dialog box
will be displayed:
7) You can unplug the USB communication wire after offline download, and a prompt message
“EMCC card disconnected” will be displayed on the title bar of the marking software in such a
case.
8) In offline operating process, if the USB wire is re-connected (a prompt message “EMCC card
connected” will be displayed on the title bar of the marking software) and foot switch is
re-triggered, the marking control card will not send mark signal, and in this case, offline mark
cannot be performed, you need to re-download or after unplugging the USB wire, re-start the
whole machine (marking control card).

4 -4 Rotation Mark on
Circumference *
This section introduces operation procedures of rotation marking on

circumferential object of HAN’S LASER MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0.
Introduction
Motion control and rotation mark is new-added function, which is able to realize motion control
without the third-party motion control card. Since the integration of marking and motion control is
very high, it is able to complete many tasks that the third-party control card unable to do.
It is able to insert various motion controls flexibly wherever you want to move by programming way.
It provides a series of circumference rotation mark methods, which are capable of satisfy most of
circumference marking applications on current market.
Motion setup
Condition
Check the lower computer program fist to confirm whether it supports the motion control function
before enabling it.
Checking method: Menu－>Help－>About, check the version information in the dialog box, see
below figure.
U1 version should be higher than V1.0.3, U2 version should be higher than V1.1.0, otherwise it
does not possess the motor function and can not do the motion control operation.
Solution：：
If U1 version is too low, return the card back to the control card department of company to upgrade.
If U2 version is too low, down load new program through EmccDownload program to upgrade.
If all the menu items or settings in the menu related to the motion control are in gray, it indicates
that this function has been activated. To activate this function, please contact with the after-sale
service personnel of Han's Laser.
Setup

Enter into the software, click Menu Setup Motion parameter setup and a dislog box as below
will pop up:
[Basic parameters]
To set some basic information of motion.
[Axis No.]:Number of current axis(Note: now the marking system only supports an
axis)
[Move type]: To set the type of axis, such as translation axis or rotary axis.
[Motor enable] :To confirm whether use the current axis.
[PPR]： To set the number of pulse per-revolution
[Delay]: To set the delay after completing motion, the default is 100ms.
[Work accelerate time]: To set the time required by motor accelerates from being still
to working speed, the default is 0.9s.
[Empty accelerate time] To set the time required by motor accelerates from being still
to idle speed, the default is 0.9s.
[Home decelerate time] To set the time required by motor decelerates from home
speed to zero , the default is 0.1s.
[Move direction]To set the rotating direction of motor.
[Rotation motion]
To set the speed parameter of rotation motion.
[Rotation work speed] Working speed of rotary axis, the default is 360 degree/s.
[Rotation empty speed] Idle speed of rotary axis, the default is 720 degree/s.
[Line motion]
To set the speed parameter of linear motion
[Screw-pitch]: Pitch of screws.
[Line work speed]:Working speed of translation axis, the default is 1000mm/s.
[Line empty speed]: Movement velocity of translation axis without load, the default is
1500mm/s.
[High home speed]: High-speed generated when translation axis zeroing, the default is
2000mm/s.
[Low home speed]:Low-speed generated when translation axis zeroing, the default is
1000mm/s.

[Motion test]
Test the motor function and software positioning.
[Move model]:To set the motor pattern, there are three patterns (Absolute, Relative,
and Home) for your option.
[Move type]:To se the type of movement, there are two types (Work move and Empty
move for your option.) ,
[Move position]:To set the value of motor moving（Note: System will determine the
input units of quantity of motion according to the axis type. For example, set the quantity
of motion to 3, if the current axis is translation axis, then the system will take mm as the
unit and the quantity of motion is 3mm; if the current axis is rotary axis, the system will
take the degree as unit and the quantity of motion is 3 degree）.
[Set current position as software origin ]:To set current position as software origin,
this function only used after zeroing . Steps are as follow:
Zeroing－>Move to the target position－> Set current position as software origin
[Auto move to home]:If this option is checked, every time open the marking software,
system will automatically do the zeroing.
[Note]：
：The function of zeroing only can be used on the machine has mechanical origin, if do the
zeroing on the machine without such hardware, it may cause the machine keep running without
any response for a long time.
Motion control mode
This software has two motion control modes, you can use the multi-document marking, control the
motor running at the end of marking of every document; you can also run the motor among the
marking objects in the document.
Multi-document marking & motion control
Mark several documents separately, do the motion control after completing marking of each
document, details please refer to section 4-2 of this chapter.
Marking & motion control in the document
Although multi-document mark can satisfy many marking requirements, its flexibility is poor. If you
want to switch over conveniently between marking and motion, you have to insert motion operation
after the marking object in the document. Click the icon and the system will generate a motor
motion object, select this object in the object list and the property of it will displayed on the property
column(as shown in below left figure) and you can set its property.
If you want to adjust the motor position before moving, click icon and the system will generate
a position setting object, select this object in the object list and the property of it will displayed on
the property column(as shown in below right figure) and you can change the current position of the
motor inside the control card.

Function: Marking is carried out according to the order of the object list, when it comes to the
motion object, it will proceed the motion you have set, if you want to adjust the position of the object
in the document, you can use mouse to drag .
Marking type
Lossless marking
Discrete graphs, can be disassembled without affecting the effect, such as normal text, PLT(LOGO)
graphs and so on. Take the graph in the following figure as an example, the entire graph is
composed by several parts and these parts do not have any relation.
For such graph, the best marking mode is to divide the graph into several parts, mark each part
separately, after completing marking of this part, move to the next part to continue. This marking
mode is featured by it best effect and fastest speed, besides you are allowed to fill at will, this
marking mode is named as lossless marking type.
Equal-angle contour marking
Complex non-separated graphs, can not be disassembled, or after disassembling single graph is
oversize only contains the contour but no fill line, such as text that requires change (serial number,
time and so on), large PLT graphic pattern(single line is overlength) and so on.

Take the graph in the above figure as an example, such graph can not be disassembled, after
disassembling, the single graph is oversize and can not mark on the circumference. In this case, it
should adopt syncopate-marking, this marking mode also can obtain ideal effect by setting
reasonable syncopating angle, this marking mode is named as equal-angle contour marking
type.
Note: This type will automatically leach the fill line in the graph inserted by software, if the imported
PLT graph has been already filled, the software will not leach the fill.
Equal-angle comprehensive marking
Class B disassembled graphs, some parts of graphs or the entire graphs need to mark the fill line.
Take the graph in the above figure as an example, in this case, for the graphs have fill line, in order
to improve the efficiency and enhance the under painting, a special marking mode is required(the
software only marks the vertical fill line, others will be ignored).
If set the “Number of fill lines each time marked” to 3, each time will only mark 3 fill lines and then
move to the medium line of the following three fill lines to continue marking. This marking mode is
able to adjust the marking effect by setting reasonable marking number of fill line. For the contour
graphs that do not have fill line, this mode is preferable, this marking mode is named as
equal-angle comprehensive marking type.
Marking control
Open the menu and click: Setting-> Rotate Setting, and a dialog box as shown in below will pop
up:

[Diameter]: Marking surface diameter of workpiece, which is required in all circumference
rotation mark.
[Syncopate Angle]：When doing the equal-angle contour syncopating, the syncopating
angle of each time motor rotates. The smaller the angle is , the better the syncopating effect
is, but the speed will become more slowly, adjust according to the actual marking effect. This
function is used in equal-angle contour marking type and equal-angle comprehensive
marking type.
[Syncopate Count] The number of fill line marked when workpiece rotating once, which
should be in odd number. This function is used in equal-angle comprehensive marking type.
Data preprocessing
For the graphs which can be processed by lossless marking type, splitting should be done for data
before starting the circumference rotation mark, otherwise you can nor get your desired effects.
You can scatter the graph, then reconstitute one by one manually, you can also use the tools
provided by us to process quickly.
Steps are as follow:
Step1: Pick the object to be processed, click the icon to scatter the pattern to lines.
Step2: Click the data reconstitution icon , system will reconstitute the data according to the
diameter you have set to generate a batch of marking objects.
Step3: Check the marking object combination for any unreasonableness, if has, adjust manually.
Step4: If filling is required , fill the reconstituted objects. DO NOT fill before scattering and
reconstitution, otherwise it may cause slow marking speed and poor marking effects.
Rotation mark
Click the Circumference Mark button on the toolbar and a dialog box as shown in below will pop
up:

[Motor Home]:Click this button and the motor will go back to the software origin set by the
system .
[Mark Type]: There are three types of mark for your option: Lossless marking type,
Equidistance contour marking type(namely equal-angle contour marking), Advance marking
type(namely equal-angle comprehensive marking type).
[Home after mark end]:Check this option and the motor will go back to the origin point after
completing marking.
Precautions:
1. The coordinate system adopted by the system should be placed the same as the motor,
otherwise, adjust the coordinate system manually. Detailed placing position is shown in below
figure(This figure is plan view).
2. Pay attention to the rotating direction of motor(as shown in below figure) when rotation
marking so as to guarantee that system marks one by one from left to right.
3. The rotation marking software only does the motor rotation preprocessing for the data in the
horizontal direction, place the graphs horizontally when importing, otherwise will mark all
once.

Dividing rule generator
This software provides the dividing rule generator to conveniently generate dividing rule and
facilitate you to generate the wanted dividing rule quickly. Usage is as follow:
Step 1: Draw the unit object of dividing rule

Take the dividing rule in the below figure as an example, this rule contains three kinds of scale lines
with different lengths.
Figure 11
We need to draw three unit objects. First draw three vertical lines, whose length is one-to-one
correspondent with the lengths of the three kinds of scale lines, the vertical lines are allowed to be
rotated at will. If there are any special requirements on the width of the scale lines, you can
replace the vertical lines with rectangles.
Some scale lines are labeled by numbers, in this case you have to add text object. The text type is
common text, content can be any value, and set the information such as font, character height and
width coefficient according to the actual requirements. After completing the editing of text, pick the
text and the corresponding scale line simultaneously, click the button in the toolbar to group
them into a group object(Tips: before processing on the group object, click button to
quickly crosswise center the selected lines and text. ) Till now, the drawing of the unit objects of
dividing ruler has been completed.
Note: It should adopt group mode rather than combination when grouping the scale line and text
into a new ruling object, otherwise it may cause marking error.

Step2: Edit dividing ruler parameters
Select the three objects drawn in step 1, click the button on the toolbar, a dialog box as
shown in below will pop up:
The left side of dialog box is object displaying area, the right side of the dialog box is the parameter
setting and object list area. Click any item on the object list and corresponding object will be
displayed in the displaying area in red.
Scale type
The system has two scale line generating ways: circumferential scale and plane scale. If check the
circumferential scale, it has to set the corresponding circumferential diameter and the scale spacing
whose unit is in degree(note: here the circumferential diameter shall be consistent with the
diameter set in the rotation mark setting, if change one, another will change correspondingly.); if
check the plane scale, it only has to set the scale spacing whose unit is in degree.
Scale parameters
Initial value: Initial value of scale line marking

Discard the last scale line: System will ignore the last scale line when creating the dividing rule
data. This function only applied in some special occasions(such as in circumference mark, if the
marking range of scale is the entire circumference, namely the first scale line coincides with the last
one, if do not discard the last scale line , it may cause that the last scale line marked twice, which
will affects the marking effect).
Increment: Every time increment of scale line marking. If the labeled number of first scale line is 0
and plan to label 20 on the 11th scale line, then the increment shall be set to 2(take the dividing rule
in figure 11 as an example, its increment is 1) .
Total number of scale lines: Total number of scale lines that needed to be marked on the dividing
rule(take the dividing rule in figure 11 as an example, it has 51 scale lines on it) .
Align Top/Align Bottom: The system can generate two different types of dividing rule through
checking. There will have an previewing graph displayed on the right of option when checking(take
the dividing rule in figure 11 as an example, it adopts Top Align) .

Scale line setting
Double-click any object on the object list or pick any object and click the on the right side, a
dialog box for setting the scale line will pop up:
Ruler Interval: The interval between the two scale lines. Take the dividing rule in figure 11 as an
example, the interval of the longest scale line shall be set to 10, the interval of the moderate length
scale line shall be set to 5, the interval of the shorted scale lines shall be set to 1.
Text Visible: By checking you can determine whether display the labeled number of corresponding
scale lines. Take the dividing rule in figure 11 as an example,, the longest scale line shall checked
this option, the other two are not(note: to display the labeled number of scale lines, you have to add
the text object to the corresponding scale lines when drawing the dividing rule unit except checking
this option).
Decimal Digits: The decimal digits when displaying the labeled number of scale line. Take the
dividing rule in figure 11 as an example, the decimal digits is 0.
Priority setting of scale line

After setting the above parameters, it need to do the priority ordering for the unit objects. Here I
want to explain first the reason why to set the priority for scale line. Although we have set the
interval for each kind of scale line in above step, some scale positions will conflict. Take the dividing
rule in figure 11 as an example, for the 11th scale line, there has 10 intervals between it and the first
scale line, for the setting of the scale line, all the three kinds of scale lines satisfy the requirement
and can mark scale line on this position, but from the figure we can see that this position marked
with the longest scale line, here comes the priority problem, which kind of scale line has the highest
priority, mark this kind of line preferentially on the position satisfied requirement. Take the 6th scale
line on the dividing rule in figure 11 as another example, both the second longest scale line and
shortest scale line satisfy the requirement to mark on this position, here the second longest scale
line is prior to the shortest one.
Through the above explaining, the priority setting of the three kinds of scale lines in the dividing rule
in figure 11 is very clear, the longest line has the highest priority, the next is the second longest line,
the shortest scale line has the lowest priority. In the list box, the topper the scale line is ,the higher
the priority is. The priority can be adjusted by press the button of “Up” and “Down”.
Step 3: Generate dividing rule

Single-click the OK button on the dividing rule setting dialog box to generate required dividing rule
graph.
Step 4: Marking
If mark the circumferential rule, it has to set the parameters of rotation mark, details please refer to
the section one of this manual. Then start the circumference rotation mark by the lossless marking
type.
Generally speaking, the scale number of the dividing rule should be successively increasing or
decreasing. In some special case, irregular changing may occur, in this case, manual interference

is required, namely pick the scale line that to be changed, cancel the group and change the
displayed scale number, then group again. DO NOT move the scale line during operation,
otherwise the marked scale line will have offset..

5 -1 Marking Parameters
This section introduces definitions of marking parameters in HAN’S LASER

MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 and how to adjust such parameters.
Definitions and functions of marking parameters
Different control modes and lasers requires different marking parameters, this chapter will describe
all the parameters may used in this software, please use it according to the actual using situation.
Marking Count
Definition: continuous marking times of single object after trigger.
Mark speed (mm/s)
Definition: running speed of optical scanner during marking. Marking speed=effective vector
step/effective vector step delay. Its limit value is set in system parameters.
If it is set too high, the marked stroke is not fine enough and also very sparse with inadequate
marking depth, but marking speed is fast.
If it is set too low, the marked strokes are fine and compact with a proper marking depth, but
marking speed is lower.
Marking speed is usually set in reference to Q frequency and power.
Recommended value: 1000mm/s.
Note For dot-matrix characters, this parameter does not function. You can adjust the spot
energy through adjusting the laser power and OFF delay.
Jump speed (mm/s)
Definition: running speed of optical scanner during empty running. Empty jump speed=empty step
size/empty step delay.
If it is set too high, the processing time for empty strokes is shorter and the total marking time
reduces, but strokes may be connected together. And optical scanner may run unstably.
If it is set too low, the processing time for empty strokes is longer and the total marking time

increases.
Empty jump speed is usually debugged in coordination jump delay. The greater the empty jump
speed is, the greater the jump delay will be.
Recommended value: 1500mm/s.
Laser on delay (us)
Definition: time adjustment by combining start point of laser and start point of optical scanner
movement. The time advance or delay time (-∞, 0, + ∞) of optical scanner before laser is turned on.
Function: It determines when to enable laser output after the effective vector has been executed.
This value can be a negative value. If it is set to a positive value, it does not affect marking time. If it
is set to a negative value, it means that effective vector is executed only after laser output has been
enabled for such a time.
If it is set too high, optical scanners move forward too much before laser output is enabled, so the
beginning stroke may not be long enough.
If it is set too low, laser output is enabled when optical scanners do not move forward for enough
distance, so overlapped dots may occur at the beginning of a stroke.
Laser off delay (us)
Definition: time adjustment by combining end point of laser and end point of optical scanner
movement. The time advance or delay time (0, + ∞) of optical scanner before laser is turned off.
Function: It determines when to disable laser output after the effective vector has been executed.
This value can be a negative value. If it is set to a positive value, it does not affect marking time. It
requires a period of time for optical scanners to reach the specified position after the last command
of stroke is sent out. Such time is called laser off delay.
If it is set too high, the optical scanners have arrived at the specified position and stayed for a
moment before laser output is disabled. In this case, overlapped dots may occur at the end of
strokes and marking time is increased.
If it is set too low, laser output is already disabled before optical scanners arrive at the specified
position. In such a case, end sections of strokes will not be long enough.

Stroke delay (us)
Definition: delay (150, + ∞) of optical scanners after laser output is disabled. Function: to ensure
accuracy and correctness of end point of the track of optical scanners. It reduces the phenomenon
of trailing of IPG laser to some extent.
If it is set too high, effective vector track is not complete at the end section and distortion may easily
occur in case of high speed.
If it is set too low, overlapped dots may occur at the corners and marking time is increased, but it
does not affect marking effect.
Jump delay (us)
Definition: after empty jump, the adjustment time (0, + ∞) for optical scanners to reach the specified
place.
Function: the next vector command is executed only when optical scanners jump to the target point.
If it is set too high, the optical scanners have reached the specified position and stayed for a
moment before marking the next stroke, so marking time is increased.
If it is set too low, the PC begins to mark the next stroke before optical scanners reach the specified
position, so sparse dots may occur at the beginning of stroke, and jitter occurs at the beginning.
Corner delay (us)
Definition: at corners, the adjustment time (0, + ∞) for optical scanners to move to the specified
place of curves.

Function: it requires a period of time for optical scanners to reach the specified position after the
last command of a line segment is sent out. Such time is called corner delay.
If it is set too high, the optical scanners have reached the specified position and stayed for moment
before marking the next line segment of a stroke. In this case, overlapped dots may occur at the
corner and marking time is increased.
If it is set too low, the PC begins to mark the next line segment before optical scanners reach the
specified position, so arc may occur at the corner.
a. Laser delay and optical scanner delay must match the marking speed and empty
Note jump speed; otherwise, improper delay may degrade marking effect and increase
marking time.
b. Adjustment sequence: adjust laser delay first (set jump delay and optical scanner in-place delay
to high enough), and then adjust optical scanner delay (jump delay, optical scanner in-place delay,
corner delay).
Q frequency (KHz)
Definition: pulses sent out per second, e.g. 20KHz means 20000 pulses are sent out every second.
Function: by changing Q frequency, laser output frequency can be increased, and single-point
energy and peak power can be decreased, which improves marking speed to a certain extent.
If it is set too high, energy accumulation time is shorter so energy is weaker and the marked dots
are dense.
If it is set too low, energy accumulation time is longer so energy is stronger, and the marked dots
are sparse.
Q release (us)
Definition: at a given Q frequency, laser output time within a cycle.

Function: used to regulate the emission energy of laser and peak power. This parameter does not
make great sense for fiber lasers.
Q release value is automatically adjusted according to Q frequency (Q release=1000/Q frequency/2)

so as to ensure normal laser output.
Current/Power (%)
Definition: output power of laser. The set value is the percentage of full power.
Function: it is used to set laser power percentage or laser current of the current layer.
Current( A)
Definition: working current of laser, used in the lasers such as YAG laser, DP laser and Ep laser
which control the energy by current.
Function: it is used to set laser current when marking the current layer, whose unit is A.
Layer delay (us)
Definition: delay time when switching between layers. The time delay is before the marking of
current layer.
Function: it is used for parameter adjustment between layers, e.g. electric current, power, optical
scanner in-place, etc.
Layer delay can increase the total marking time.
Duty cycle (％
％)
Definition: CO2 laser adjusts the energy by duty cycle, if the duty cycle is 50%, it indicates the
power is 50%
Function: it is used to control the laser output power.
FPK Time(us)
Definition: first pulse compression time of digital Q-driver.

Function: to compress the first pulse.
FPK Init Rate
Definition: the energy released by first pulse when the analog Q-driver conducts the first pulse
compression. If it is set to 1.0, it means releasing completely, If it is set to 0, it means inhibiting
completely, set to between 0~1 means partially release.
Function: cooperate with the “FPK Len Rate “ and “FPK MaxPRate” to adjust the first pulse.
FPK Len Rate
Definition: the ratio of the energy released by next spot to the energy when the analog Q-driver
conducts the first pulse compression.
Function: adjust the change frequency of energy to get the energy reinforced gradually and
smoothly.

FPK Max PRate
Definition: The max. amount of energy released in inhibitory control when the analog Q-driver
conducts the first pulse compression.
Function: to adjust the peak value. With the stored energy becoming less, the inhibition weakens
gradually, if the releasing energy comes to the peak value, the first pulse inhibition stops.
FPKCurRate
Definition: the ratio of laser energy when using fast response power supply to do the first pulse
compression to the laser energy of normal power.
Function: adjust the energy stored by the laser before emitting laser beam, so as to obtain the best

Setting
This section introduces definitions of system parameter setting in HAN’S LASER

MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 and how to adjust such parameters.
Interface for setting system parameters
From the menu bar, click Set; and from the pull-down menu, click System setting:
And the following dialog box pops up:

Definitions and functions of system parameters
Keep Frequency (kHz)
Definition: laser output power during non-marking period.

Function: it is used to adjust the output power of laser during non-marking period. For IPG fiber
lasers, this parameter helps to improve the problem of trailing and light leakage during empty jump.
Range: For IPG laser, to control within 20-80KHz and set CO2 frequency within 3~5K. This
parameter will not affect pulse frequency during marking, so it does not affect marking time. For
some sensitive materials, setting this parameter to greater value can help to reduce trailing.
Keep Time (us)
Definition: it is the time corresponding to the holding pulse frequency.

Function: it is used to adjust the release time corresponding to the laser output power during
non-marking period and to change peak power of pulse. This parameter does not make great
sense for fiber lasers.
Rang of setting: within the corresponding cycle time.
Working current after entering into marking state
Definition: Set the working current after entering into the marking state.
Function: Adjust the work current to the set value before starting mark. This function has great
influence on the first pulse energy.
MO delay (us)
Definition: delay since the trigger of MO signal to PA signal.

Function: it is for debugging purpose only. Operators are not allowed to change it.
Safety door protection
Definition: to set the safety door for protection during marking.

Not enabled: if safety door protection is not enabled, marking control system will not pause or stop
in case that safety door is opened during marking.
Pause: if safety door is opened during marking, the marking control system will pause, optical
scanner will stop moving and laser output will be disabled. After re-closing the safety door, you can
choose to directly continue the marking or to continue marking only after marking is triggered again.
For details, see “Edit/Option/Mark immediately when door close”. After the safety door is re-closed,
the marking will continue from the point where it stops when the safety door is opened.
Stop: if safety door is opened during marking, the marking control system will pause, optical
scanner will stop moving and laser output will be disabled. After re-closing the safety door, trigger
the marking again, and the marking will restart from the beginning.
Function: this protection function is for protecting personal safety of operators.
Optical scanner position after mark end
Function: after completing mark, the optical scanner return back to the zero position, which is

default center origin.
Power supply feature
Function: to adjust the trailing of gray bitmap mark carried by the fast response power supply.
Response time
Definition: the response time after changing the laser current.

Function: To compensate the trailing brought by the slow response of laser.
Attenuation
Definition: the attenuation length of laser.

Gain factor
Definition: the ratio of current electric current to the set current

Touch setting
Signal setting
It is used coordinatively with production line.

Signal triggers on once
It is used to set the times of acquiring signals (e.g. foot switch signals). A mark command is sent out
only after such number of triggers are made.
Mark count after touch
It is used to set the marking times for each trigger. If used in coordination with “Delay after
triggering”, it can be used to control the marking times and time interval between adjacent
markings.
Delay after triggering (ms)
In certain industrial control occasions, foot switch is connected with a photoelectric probe. When an
object is detected, the foot switch generates a signal. However, sometimes, it requires a delay
signal so that the object has enough time to stabilize itself.
Interval between markings (ms)
It is used to set the time interval between two adjacent markings during multiple markings so as to
facilitate workpiece loading.
Delay after marked (ms)
It is the time delay after multiple markings.
Mark end signal length (ms)
It is used to detect the status of mark end signal, which is after all the delays.
Touch mode
Edge trigger: to collect edge signals upon receipt of trigger signal, e.g. rising edge is used as trigger
signal.
Level trigger: when it is at high level, it is deemed that trigger signals are present.
Offline repeat mark
Disenabled: in offline mark, after triggering the signal, system will not mark repeatedly.
Enabled: in offline mark, after triggering the signal, system will keep marking repeatedly, the
interval between cycles is two times of interval between two adjacent markings.
Import and export of system parameters

After making changes to system parameters, it is recommended to save them for possible use in
the future.

for setting the gayscale as shown in below pops up:
Ctrl.Mode: There are four modes for your option: duty cycle control mode, Q-regulating control
mode, current control mode and AC regulating control mode. According to the laser and related
hardware parameters, the software will automatically leach out the modes you can not use and
leave one or two modes for you to choose.
1) CO2 laser uses duty cycle (power) control mode to conduct the gray marking.
2) All the lasers with Q-driver(such as YAG,DP,EP etc.) can use Q-regulating control mode to
conduct the gray marking. Since Q-regulate leaks light, it is not suitable for the marking of
sensitive materials. It also can achieve good effects on metal material.
3) Only the laser equipped with fast response power supply can use the electric current control
mode to conduct the gray marking.
4) Laser equipped with analog Q-driver can use the AC control mode to conduct the gray
marking. When applying to the sensitive material, it need to be cooperated with fast response
power supply to achieve the best effect.
Note The optimum collocation for grayscale bitmap mark: Analog Q-driver＋ fast response
power supply & AC regulating control mode.
Levels: The more the grayscale adjusting precision level is, the more the adjustable grayscale
color is. If choose 256 levels, it means that every level’ grayscale is adjustable; if choose 16 levels,
then only 16 levels’ grayscale are adjustable.

The level is chosen according to the material, the better the material marking contrast
Note is, the higher the level should be. For the material with poor contrast, it is unnecessary
to set the level to high.
Line: Curve or straight line, according to the marking effect to determine adopt which one.
White: Checked if the ground color of material is white.
Grayscale adjusting methods:

1. Choose the control mode, make sure that the hardware connection is correct.

5 -3 Calibration Settings
This section introduces definitions of calibration parameters in HAN’S LASER

MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0 and how to adjust them.
Introduction to calibration setting
Considering the special makeup of optical system and to get more accurate and fine marking effect,
optical scanners have to be calibrated.
Distortion of marking may result from:
Use of optical scanner may cause concave or convex in X or Y direction.
Deviation in installation position of optical scanner may cause the BOX to become a trapezoid
or parallelogram.
Nonuniformity or non-linearity of optical scanner may cause the nonuniformity of size
proportion in the whole marking range.
This system provides multi-level calibration to ensure accuracy in the whole calibration range.
Calibration setting method
This software provides three kinds of optical calibration methods for your option.

Main features:
Support the file management of many calibration parameter sets.

Support doule-end calibration(for the method to enable the double-end, please refer to the
LaserSet Utility Software User Manual.)
Suppoert the calibration of range, coordinate system, rotation and offset.
Support single-grade network calibration and multi-grade linear combination calibration
algorithm.
Support redlight calibration.
Automatically indentify different cards, avoid the occurence of error when multi-crad mixedly
working together.
One PC is allowed to insert several control cards , dynamically switch over.
Support calibration of three kinds of lens: fθ rear focusing lens and front focusing lens,
commom rear focusing lens.
Convenient and fast beam-emit debugging method.
Support several calibrating methods.
Support the calibration of 3D marking.
Normal calibration: it is the most fundamental calibration, adjust various deformations by simply
inputting some coefficients.
Super calibration 1: Provide an precise calibration method for the marking with small marking
–range(smaller than 200mm), which is able to achieve extremely high precision.
Super calibration 2: For the marking with large marking –range, which the canner is difficult to deal
with, you can use the third party professional instrument to obtain the point coordinates and import
to this calibration system, after processing still can achieve accurate calibration.
Basic parameters
Different sizes of optical scanners correspond to different marking ranges:

No. Lens Marking Calibration range (mm)
range(mm)
1 F=100 50*50 60*60
2 F=160 100*100 120*120
3 F=254 160*160 180*180
Typically, calibration range is greater than marking range. It is recommended to use different lenses
for different calibration ranges (as shown in the above figure).
Calibration level
1. BOX size: it is the size of the BOX to be calibrated. The maximum value equals to the marking
range.
2. X zoom ratio: to correct the length of lines in X direction, actual length=ratio*marking range.
Usually, it is set to 0.8 or so.
3. Y zoom ratio: to correct the length of lines in Y direction, actual length-ratio*marking range.
Usually, it is set to 0.8 or so.
4. X concavity and convexity: to correct the concavity and convexity of lines in X direction when
debugging BOX.
5. Y concavity and convexity: to correct the concavity and convexity of lines in Y direction when
debugging BOX.

6. X trapezoid: to correct the length of the two opposite sides so as to ensure the horizontal
opposite sides are equal.
7. Y trapezoid: to correct the length of the two opposite sides so as to ensure the vertical
opposite sides are equal.
8. X parallelism: to correct length of diagonal lines so as to ensure the BOX is horizontally

parallel.
9. Y parallelism: to correct length of diagonal lines so as to ensure the BOX is horizontally
parallel.
10. Positive length ratio: if the measured length of lines in positive X direction is greater than the
theoretical value, you need to change it smaller; otherwise, change it greater.
11. X negative length ratio: if the measured length of lines in negative X direction is greater than
the theoretical value, you need to change it smaller; otherwise, change it greater.
12. Y positive length ratio: if the measured length of lines in positive Y direction is greater than the
theoretical value, you need to change it smaller; otherwise, change it greater.
13. Y negative length ratio: if the measured length of lines in negative Y direction is greater than
the theoretical value, you need to change it smaller; otherwise, change it greater.
Relevant settings
New level: if multi-level calibration is necessary, click this button to add desired levels, and then
change “BOX size” in the corresponding levels.
Delete level: if the added levels are unnecessary, just delete them.
Overall effect: to view the calibration effect in the whole marking range, choose this option, and this
option can be used in coordination with “Callback level”.
Callback level: to set the fineness of viewing the overall effect. The higher the level is , the narrower
the line spacing is.
Parameter: to set marking parameters, e.g. marking times, marking speed, power, etc. save them
for next time use.

Calibration mark
Choose calibration level (e.g. L1), and then click the Test button or push the F7 key, and you can
mark within the specified range according to the calibrated pattern. After marking, you can measure
the size, length of X\Y axis, concavity, convexity, diagonal lines, etc. of the BOX.
If you want to stop the calibration mark process, click Stop.
Saving and calling up calibration parameters
After calibration, please save the calibration parameters in a safe position.

After replacing lenses or accessories, please call up the related calibration parameters.
Calibration procedure
Normal calibration
1. To set the most fundamental parameter: Calibration range, marking range, focus mode.
2. Adjust the coordinate system to enable that the marked graph coincides with the imported
graph.
3. Adjust the deformation and offset, correct marking graph size and deformation.
4. After completing the laser calibration, conduct the red-light calibration.
5. Save and exit.
For a brand new machine which never conducts any calibration, generally adopts following
operation procedures:

Note: For the lasers with dynamic focusing, such as CO2 front focusing, 3D marker etc., please DO
observe the following steps to adjust.
Choose the “Front focusing” mode, use ruler to precisely measure the distance between the square
head and worktable, namely the green line as shown in the following figure,
Head
Distance between the

square head and
worktable
Fill the measured value into the option of “Height between the square head and worktable” .
Adjust the BOX calibration parameter to calibrate the BOX, the calibration of BOX only checks the
size and deformation of BOX, leave the offset-focus alone.
After completing the calibration of BOX, if the marked BOX graph has offset-focus, adjust the value
of “Dynamic focus coefficient” till the effect is satisfied.
Super calibration 2
1. Choose Normal Calibration, set the marking range and BOX size, and conduct the initial
calibration for the BOX by normal calibration. It need not too precise, mainly focus on the
adjustment of deformation.
2. Choose Super Calibration 2, click “Build grid” and set the marking grid number in the pop-up
dialog box, the detailed data should be determined according to the marking range and
precision. Place the sample plate to be measuring marked, click “OK” and the software starts
to conduct the dot matrix scanning marking on the sample plate.
3. Acquire the marking dot coordinate by third party tools. Note: the coordinate system should
completely coincide with the marking system.
4. After acquiring the marking data coordinate, before entering the data into the software, it has
to create files accords with the required formats of this program. This system is equipped with
a data entry conversion program and provides two entering methods for your option.
Data entry conversion program Grid.exe can be found in the Emcc file of installation directory, the
running interface is as shown in below:

4.1 Manually entering
First enter the row number and column number, then click “Buildgrid” and the software will built a
grid of 10X20, the user only has to fill the actual measurement data into the grid based on the order

format.
In order to facilitate the checking of data, this program also provides function of “Preview” for you to
view the overall arraying of the entered data and check with the actual marking data. The
previewing effect of software is as shown in below figure:
Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the multi-time editing and modification, software is also able to save
the entered data, the saved file is allowed to edit again by clicking the “Open” to open it.

4.2 File import
Use EXCEL to create a bifarious data file, export the data to be in CSV format, and then use the
data entry conversion program to open it. The below figure is showing a data list of 6X6, the first
row is the row number and column number (6 X 6), from the second row to the last successively are
the measured coordinate values (column A is the coordinate value of X axis, column B is the
coordinate value of Y axis) of each dot arrayed from top to bottom and from left to right.

1＝OFF, applicable to high level light-blocking Q-driver, such as AA Q-driver and self-control
Q-driver.
2) Switch 2
Used for determining the polarity of PPK, mainly used to judge which one is valid (high level or low

Brief introduction of control mode
1. FPS: Digital pulse signal control (Pulse signal should be >10us), the outputting result is the
“Exclusive Disjunction” of the two signals; representation is that the first pulse compression
signal and the Q-switched signal proceed at the same time.
2. PPK：：Digital pulse signal control (Pulse signal should be >10us), the outputting result is the
“Logical Product” of the two signals; representation is that the first pulse compression signal
proceeds first then the Q-switched signal.
3. R05：： Analog signal compresses first pulse, the first pulse compression signal and the
Q-switched signal proceed at the same time, the outputting result is the “Exclusive
Disjunction” of the two signals.
4. A05：： Analog signal compresses first pulse, the first pulse compression signal and the
Q-switched signal proceed at the same time, the outputting result is the “Logical Product” of
the two signals.
5. Generally the digital mode selects PPK, the analog mode selects R05.

6 -3 Software Setting
Setting of laser parameter
1. Click the “Laser Parameter” in the “Setup” menu.

2. Follow the setting wizard to set the laser-type, Q type and marking control-mode.

Setting of M parameter
If choose the handy Model, it has to set the M value of this system, since the incorrect M value will
cause the problems such as marking lines unsealed, stroke dislocated etc.
Setting method:
1. Click the “Adjust M” in the “Setup” menu.
2. Follow the setting wizard to complete the setting of M value.
Note: The M value should be reset after replacing the marking software or galvanometer system.

Setting of marking parameter
Continuous laser beam
Continuous laser beam: relative to pulsed beam, the Q-driver does not block the beam when
emitting, completely released.
For the pulsed beam, generally the releasing time is within 10us, but for the continuous laser beam,
the releasing time is equal to the cycle of certain frequency. For example, if it is 20KHZ, the
releasing time is 50us, namely it emits continuous laser beam.
First pulse inhibition
Digital Q-driver (Gooch Q-driver)

a) The general value of the “First pulse inhibitory time” in the marking parameter is
10—20us. It is meaningless if it is bigger or even may cause improperness.
b) If the initial-spot has overlapped spot or weak spot, it has to modulate the “FPS
Window”, “FPS Start” and “FPS Slope” of Q-driver.
Digital Q-driver (Self-control Q-driver)

a) The general value of the “First pulse inhibitory time” in the marking parameter is
60-90us.You can adjust according to different power values and Q frequencies.
b) Generally it is unnecessary to modulate the Q-driver.
Analog Q-driver (Gooch Q-driver)
Preparations:
1. Adjust the M value to guarantee that when marking with the normal marking speed, the two
endpoints of the reciprocated fill is aligned.
2. Make a BOX with appropriate size; the side length can be between 7mm-20mm.
3. Set to crosswise reciprocated fill.
4. Set the appropriate filling distance (d=0.5mm) based on the marking of laser spot.
5. Set to only mark the filling line but not the board line.
6. Set a set of initial value:
Initial spot rate: 0.8
Inhibitory length rate: 0.8
First pulse current rate: 0.8
Debugging effect is as shown in the right figure:
Steps:
1. First input the initial parameter values and view the marking effect.
2. If the Initial spot energy is weak, properly increase the “Initial spot rate” and the “current
coefficient”.
3. If the Initial spot energy is too strong, properly lessen the “Initial spot rate” and the “Current
coefficient”.
4. If the starting spot energy is nonuniform, sometimes is weak sometimes is strong, then it has
to properly lessen the “Inhibitory length rate” to make sure that the energy of the following
spots is uniform.
Principles:
Adjustment of “First pulse current rate”

1. Generally speaking, when inhibiting the initial spot, only adjust the “First pulse current rate” is

able to inhibit the initial spot energy to be uniform,; in some special cases such as low current
or high frequency, it need to be cooperated with the adjustment of “Initial spot rate” and
“Inhibitory length rate” to complete.
2. The adjustment of “First pulse current rate” is simple and fast; the bigger the current is or the
smaller the Q frequency is, the smaller the “First pulse current rate” is. The sensibility of this
parameter to the current and Q frequency is small.
3. This parameter is suitable to be applied when using the “Fast response power supply”.
Adjustment of “Initial spot rate” and “Inhibitory length rate”:

1. Generally speaking, when inhibiting the initial spot, only adjust the “Initial spot rate” and the
“Inhibitory length rate” is able to inhibit the initial spot energy to be uniform,; in some special
cases such as low current or high frequency, it need to be cooperated with the adjustment of
“First pulse current rate” to complete.
2. The adjustment of “Initial spot rate” and the “Inhibitory length rate” is complex.
3. It has to readjust if the Q frequency and current have any change.
4. This parameter is suitable to be applied when using analogue to inhibit the initial spot, besides,
a Q-driver with this function is also required (such as AA Q-driver, GOOCH Q-driver).
Compatable of specific implementing methods:

Initial spot energy Marking effect of reciprocated fill of BOX Adjusting method
Increase the “Initial spot

The initial energy is rate” or the “Current
weak. coefficient”.
Lessen the “Initial spot

The initial energy is rate” and the “Current
too strong. coefficient”.

Lessen the “Inhibitory
The energy of the fist length rate” to make sure
several spots is that the energy of the
nonuniform. following spots is uniform.
Peak energy
Peak energy: the peak power proportionality coefficient of single spot.

The maximum value of peak energy is 1, here the peak power of single spot is the largest; the
minimum value of peak energy is 0, here the peak power of single spot is the smallest.
Raise the peak energy, the single spot pulse width will minish and the peak power raises;
Minish the peak energy, the single spot pulse width will increase and the peak power minishes;
Setting method:
1. To minish the peak energy, first lessen the Initial spot rate, the peak energy should not to be
smaller than the Initial spot rate;
2. If you want to raise the Initial spot rate, raise the peak energy fist.
Marking quality
Marking quality: the registration accuracy between the actual path and the theoretical path of
marking;
Setting range of marking quality: 0—100
The worse the marking quality is: the lower the marking accuracy is & the greater the corner radian
is & the less the marking time is;
The better the marking quality is: the higher the marking accuracy is& the smaller the corner radian
is & the more the marking time is.
Layer delay
Layer delay: the interval taken by layer switching;

The layer delay is added to guarantee the stability of the laser current in the circumstance that
different layers set different power values.

8 -1 3D Modeling
This section introduces how to create 3D modeling.
Introduction to modeling
The operating mode of the 3D data processing of this software: first create 3D model, then map the
2D data to the 3D modeling surface to generate the 3D marking data, last through the marking
control function to mark the 3D data precisely on the material surface.
Modeling is the first step of 3D marking. This software divides the model into three kinds:
User-defined model, STL file and Composite model. The modeling methods of them are described
one by one in the follow sections.
User-defined model
1. Start up the software, create a blank document, click the “3D” button on the toolbar( as shown
in below figure) to
enter into the 3D field of view

The scale of the grid line in the above figure is generated according to the marking range, it is only
used for assisting the positioning and will not participate the marking. Also the three coordinate
axes in three different colors are for assisting the displaying. The four coordinate buttons on the
toolbar are for quick switching the visual angle, facilitate the positioning view.
2. In 3D field of view, the two buttons next to the “3D”button are available, click button
and the model “Loading” dialog box will pop up:
Check the “Base” for the option of “Shape”, click the “Type” list box and there are five model types
for your option: Step model, Incline model, Column model, sphere model and Taper model. Once
you choose a model type, the following “Parameter” column will display the parameters that are
necessary for creating this model. The detailed description of the five models and theirs creation
method are as follow.
3. Choose the “ Step”, the parameters in the “Parameter” column are as shown in the above
figure. “Step” means that it is composed by planes with different heights. To define a plane
with height requires the plane height, length, width and coordinate parameters, which
correspond to the parameters of “Z”, “Length”, “Width”, “X” and “Y” respectively in the
“Parameter” column.
The step can be one level or more, the buttons of “Add”, “Delete” and “Modify” are for the
operation of the step level. Providing that now has to create a two-level step, the first level
starts from (0, 0), the length and width are 20 and 40 respectively, the height is 10, the
second level starts from the ( 20, 0), the length and width are 20 and 40 respectively, the
height is 15.Input the related parameters in corresponding columns, click “Add” and the
parameters of each level will be displayed in the following list, if find any error, select the item,
input again and click the ”Modify” button. The below figure shows the situation of inputting
correctly:

After inputting, check the option of “New” on the left bottom, then click “OK”, the created step can
be seen on the 3D field of view
4. Choose the “Incline”, the parameters in the “Parameter” column are as shown in below
figure:

Except inputting two sets of coordinate values, you have to check the option of “Round Y axis” or
“Round X axis, since the two sets of coordinate values can not determine a spatial plane, it has to
add a direction parameter about the plane rotates round which axis. The below figure shows the
situation of the incline（0, 0, 0）, （40, 40, 40）rotates round the Y axis:

The below figure shows the situation of rotating round the X axis:
5. Choose the “Column”, the parameters are as shown in below figure:
The column is placed thwartwise along the direction of being parallel to the Y axis, the explanation
of each parameter is as follow:
Radius: The radius of the undersurface of column.
Length: The height of the column, since it is thwartwise placed, named length.
Start tangle / End Angle: The 360 degree column occupies large space and exists meaningless
repetitive surfaces(the details will be explained in the section of Data
Generation), so through these two angles to crop the column.

The below figure shows a column with radius, length , start angle and end angle of 40mm, 40mm, 0
degree and 90 degree respectively:
6. Choose the “Sphere”, the parameters are as shown in below figure:
A radius parameter, add the option of “Inside”, this option represents the sign of upper/lower
hemisphere, if check this option, the lower hemisphere(namely the internal surface is selected ).

The below figure shows the design sketch of an upper hemisphere with radius of 40mm:
7. Choose the “Taper”, the parameters are as shown in below figure:
Extremely similar with the “Column” , the parameters of “Taper” includes ”Radius”, “Length”, “Start
Angle” and “End Angel”, the meanings of these parameters are the same as the parameters of
“Column”. The “Radius 1” refers to the radius of another undersurface of taper; if check the option

of “Upright”, the option of “Inside” will become invalid. The below figure shows a taper with radius,
radius 1, length, start angle and end angle of 40mm, 10mm, 40mm, 0 degree and 180 degree
respectively, and with the option of “Inside” and “Upright” are unchecked.
Note: Now it does not support the situation with the span bigger than 180 degree, such as the
situation that the start angle is 0, the end angle is 270 degree.
STL file model
The 3D model interactive formats are various, this software now only supports the STL format. First,
you have to edit the model in the 3D modeling software(such as Pro/E, inventor, UG etc.), then
export the model as the STL file, finally import the STL file to this software to use. The importing
procedure of 3D model is as follow:
1. Switch to 3D filed of view, enter into the 3D model loading dialog box. Check the option of
“STL model” in the “Shape” column, click the button followed behind the “File”, choose the
STL file you want to import, as shown in below figure:

After choosing the file, click ”OK” and the STL model has been imported. The below figure shows
the STL master drawing:
This workpiece model is designed by third-party 3D professional software, here only takes several
seconds to import it.
Composite model
Composite model is the combination of several models. The above mentioned models are single
models and can not satisfy the needs of the complex occasion. The composite model is to create
several single models, and through appropriate arrangement to compose a composite model.

Check the option of “New” in the “Loading” dialog box when creating, then you can create several
objects. The below figure shows an example of the composite model:
It is composed by “Step model”, “Incline model” and “STL model”.
Note: If a filed of view has several models, the selected model will be displayed in pink and the
unselected model displayed in gold. The TAB key can be used to quick switch the model. All the
editing operations are only valid for the selected model.

8 -2 Model Adjustment
This section introduces how to adjust the model, includes offset, select and
reconfiguration.
Offset rotation
1. Click the button next to the loading model and the “3D Transform” dialog box will pop
up:
Refer to position:
Includes two options: “Absolute” and “Relative”.

If check the “Absolute”, all the parameters in the column of “Offset” and “Rotate” will change to the
absolute “Position” of the last time transformation. The “Position” here refers to the offset value
and rotation value in general. After modifying the “Absolute” value, click “Apply”, and the model
will transform according to the given absolute value.
If check the “Absolute”, all the parameters in the column of “Offset” and “Rotate” will change to 0.
After modifying the “Relative” value, click “Apply”, and then the model will transform according to
the value relative to current value.
For the STL model, if exist the situation of exceeding the marking range before or after the
transformation, or not rotating round the X axis, the parameters of “Absolute” will be re-zeroed.

Move:
Coordinate with reference option plays the role of displaying and inputting.
Rotate:
Coordinate with reference option plays the role of displaying and inputting., the user-defined model
does not support the rotation that does not round the Z axis.
The below figure shows how to input the parameters for the situation that STL workpiece rotates
round the X axis by 90 degree, Z axis offset is -15.
Click “Apply”, the workpiece is upside down and almost in the center:

Since before the transformation, the model exceeds the marking range, when apply the
transformation, the absolute value will re-zero, here the effects of applying “Absolute” and
“Relative” are the same.
If the model always transforms within the marking range, the parameters of “Absolute” will not be
re-zeroed and will always displays the transforming situation relative to the original position. The
below figure shows the absolute value position of a column model after several transformations
within the marking range.
Modification
After creating the model, if you find it is not your desired one, such as you create a column model,
but later you find what you need is a sphere model, or if you create a sphere model with diameter of
10mm, later you find what you need is a sphere model with diameter of 15mm, in these cases,
reconfiguration of model is required.
Enter into the “Loading” dialog box again and the parameters of current model is displayed on the
dialog box, input the new parameters, check the option of “New”, click “OK” , the reconfiguration of
model is completed and the model has been changed to the new model.

8 -3 Data Generation
This section introduces how to generate 3D marking data.
Conversion of 2D data
The basic flow of converting 2D data is to make the plane data on the 2D field of view, then paste
the 2D data along the 3D model surface, when the 2D data pasted to the overlapped part of several
models, be subject to the plane model on the top.
Two data converting modes are available: Lossless Conversion and Projective Conversion. The
lossless conversion is adopted by various user-defined models; the projective conversion is
adopted by the STL model and the merging part of the composite model.
Lossless conversion
Take the column of the user-defined model as an example, it adopts the lossless conversion.
Conversion principle After converting
From the above figure we can see that the data after converting is lossless, from any point of view it
does not have distortion or deformation.
Projective conversion
The projective conversion means that the X and Y coordinate value of the original 2D data remain
unchanged, through this coordinate to find the Z coordinate it corresponds on the model to
constitute a new 3D coordinate. It is different with the lossless conversion, which adjusts the X and
Y coordinate value of the original 2D data. Take the column of TL mode as an example, as shown in
below figure:

Conversion principle After converting
Compared with the photo of lossless conversion, the data of projective conversion is sparse and the
“1” and “D” has deformed severely.
It is recommended that try to adopt the user-defined model as the converting basis of data, since its
converting effect is better. For the conversion of composite model, adopt the projective conversion
for the merging part and convert according to the actual situation of model for other parts. Adopt
lossless mode for the user-defined model and projective mode for STL model.
Mode selection
Adopt user-defined model or STL model to conduct the data conversion should be determined by
the usage requirements and difficulty.
If there has strict requirements on the size of the 3D marked graphics, the user-defined model
should be adopted to convert the data; if the model itself is complicated and can not be showed by
one model, it has to separate the marking contents into several parts and create different models
for each part to conduct the mapping separately, in this case, the good effect can be achieved.
If there does not have specific requirement on the size of the 3D marked graphics, using of STL
model is a good option. The STL model is able to conduct mapping on any complicated 3D curved
surface.
Example of conversion
Below is an example of pasting character on the sphere. Requirements: To paste “HANS LASER”
on the sphere; the radius of sphere is 20mm; it is a regular hemisphere; besides, another character
“Sphere” is not going to be pasted on the sphere. Steps are as follow:
1. Start up the software, create a blank document, add two texts of “HANS LASER” and
“Sphere”, center the former and get the latter lower centered.

2. Switch to 3D field of view, create sphere model, input 20mm, uncheck the option of “Inside”,
click “OK”, the model creation is completed and meanwhile the mapping is completed:
The “HANS LASER” has been pasted on the sphere, the “Sphere” is still on the 0 plane.
The above operations do not have strict requirements on the order, you can also create the model
first, then switch to 2D filed of view to create the text, then when switching back to the 3D field of
view , the data pastes on the model simultaneously. The below figure shows the mapping of the
composite model of multi-objects:
The composite model is composed by STL model, Incline model and Column model; in the 2D field
of view, create three texts: STL, Incline and Column; besides there has an imported PLT graphics
of the space shuttle, which crosses three models and paste on the composite model composed by
the three models.
In the section of describing the column modeling, we mentioned that the 360 degree column exists

meaningless repetitive surfaces, since the data is pasted on the model surface, the 360 degree
column has two surfaces at any position, the software will paste the data on the higher surface of Z
axis and ignore the lower surface, the bottom half column between 180~360 degree becomes
meaningless.
Import NC file data
The NC file is the G code file of numerical control machining, generally it is generated by 3D
graphics software UG, it also cam be generated by other professional soft wares:
Start up the software, click “File”→”Import”:
Choose the “NC” for the “File type” in the pop-up dialog box:
Below is an example of importing:

There does not have 3D model in the graphics, the NC file data takes Z coordinate with itself, it
need not 3D model to serve as a foil to generate, it can be used in 3D marking directly.
Modify coordinate
Mapping principle: If the z coordinate value of some point of the original data is not 0, the straight
line segment formed by any point (directly connected to this point ) and it will not participate the
mapping operation.
Take the above figure as an example to introduce the operation steps: Switch to 2D filed of view,
enter into coordinate editing mode, select a point or more points, right-click and a menu will pop up,
click the “Edit coordinate (&E)”:
A dialog box as shown in below pops up:

Here it is only allowed to input Z coordinate value, which means that several points have been
selected and the Z coordinate value of them are allowed to modify to the same value, the X and Y
coordinate values are not allowed to modify. Input 20 and click “OK”, then switch to 3D field of view,
you can see that the Z coordinate value of the selected points has been changed to 20mm, as
shown in below figure:
When the 3D data mapped on the model again, the parts that Z coordinate value is not 0 will not be
mapped. As shown in below figure, the Z coordinate value of a point of the quadrangle is not 0,
when mapping again without any processing, it generates a strange graphics.

In the 3D field of view, the Undo/ Redo operation is only valid for 3D objects.
The operation can be done through the menu or shortcut keys.
The maximum Undo/ Redo level in 3D filed of view is 10.

8 -5 File Management
This section introduces a new file format HD.
HS / HD file
HS is the old version of 2D file format; the new software is fully compatible with the old version file.
HD is the new version of 3D file format and save the 3D marking data, 3D model and layer
parameters simultaneously.
Choose the file type when opening or saving the file:
The HD file also support open by double-clicking or dragging. It is brand new file format and only
available for the new version of software.

8 -6 Marking Operation
This section introduces the 3D marking, positioning and the fine tuning of focus.
Marking operation
Except the rotation mark, 3D field of view is completely compatible with the online and offline mark
in the 2D field of view, including the common mark, multi-document mark, IO selective mark, fast
mark, red-light preview and single document /multi-document offline download mark etc..
The handling of the protective door alarm and abnormal alarm is the same as the plane mark.
From the perspective of operator, the 3D marking operation is the same as the plane marking
operation introduced in chapter four. Briefly speaking, in the 2D field of view, all the markings are
conducted according to the plane, while in the 3D field of view, all the markings are conducted
according to the 3D mode. The only distinction is the difference of the positioning of the datum
plane, the plane mark only requires to simply position the center point, while the 3D mark involves
the positioning of the space posture, which is more complicated.
For the marking control mode, please refer to the chapter four.
Positioning of the 3D datum plane
The 3D data involves the Z coordinate, in order to enable the model to match with the material
object, it requires to position the datum plane before marking. The incorrect positioning will cause
dislocation and offset focus to the whole object.
Generally, find a good datum point or plane on the material object, adjust the position of the model
or the material object till the two inosculated.
Positioning method of datum plane:

A. Move away the material object or the material object with fixtures, adjust the laser girder till
finding the focus on the worktable bearing surface, record the position of the laser girder.
B. Observe the 3D model and find the bearing bottom surface of the model, if the bearing
bottom surface is not a plane, you’d better import a model with fixture, in that case the bottom
surface of the fixture can be served as bearing bottom surface.
C. After confirming the bearing bottom surface, select the 3D model, switch the 3D view to XZ or
YZ view, adjust the Z offset of model through the dialog box of “3D Transform” till the
bearing surface locates on the zero position of Z axis. After completing the adjustment, click
“Set Base” to set the current position of model as the datum point, as shown in below figure:

D. After confirming the datum point, adjust the Z offset of model again to move the model to the
suitable marking position(since the Z adjustable range of marker is around 20mm, try to
adjust the Z datum plane to be close to the marking content). After adjusting to the required
position, record the Z datum offset value on the dialog box.
E. Synchronously adjust the maker girder by the datum offset value that mentioned in the step
D to enable that the focal plane of model keeps peace with the focal plane of material object.
If the software displays that the Z datum offset value is -20mm, it means that you have to
adjust the girder upward by 20mm, if the Z datum offset value is 12mm, it means that you
have to adjust the girder downward by 12mm.
F. After completing the adjustment of Z position, turn on the red light and observe the position it
locates on the material object, adjust the XY offset value of the model or the position of
material object till the center point of the model is in complete accord with the center point of
the material object. Till now the positioning of the 3D datum surface has been completed.
G. After completing the positioning, move the plane marking data to the model to conduct the
mapping, then marking can be started.
Position the Z first through the bearing surface, then position the XY through
Tips the red light.
Test focus
Before marking , it has to adjust the distance between the laser marker and the marking plane so as
to enable the laser energy to completely focus on the plane as much as possible. Due to the lack of
necessary debugging equipment, generally through visual inspection or hearing sound to judge
whether it is on the focal position. If some applications require to change products frequently, the
focal position has to be adjusted frequently also, which brings much inconvenience.
This software provides an immediate processing method, which the operator need not to precisely
adjust the focal position but only through the simply setting of marking can find the best marking
focus.
Method of test focus:
1. Click the button on the tool bar, find the Auto Focus. HS file in the “Samples”

directory of the Erection procedure, open the file and it will be as shown in below figure:
2. Set the marking parameters, then click the button on the tool bar, the software will first
detect the model number and order, if correct then enter into the dialog box as shown in below
figure:
Working principle: Software distributes a new Z offset value for each small grid according to the
given offset, then mark them on the same plane all at once, here the position where achieves the
best marking effect is the best focal position.
[Offset]: to set the Z offset value between every two groups of objects, the default is 0.05mm.
[Index of best objects]: to set the serial number for the objects with the best marking effect（1-20）.
After completing the setting, click “Apply” to validate the setting. Later the software will take the
current best position as the focal position no matter in the plane marking or 3D marking. If the girder
position has any change, it has to position again.

AutoCAD R13
B Drawing Output
This section introduces how to output PLT files from AutoCAD R13.
Defining virtual device for outputting drawings
Start AutoCADR13, click File->Printer Setup…, and the “Preferences” dialog box is displayed:
Click the “New” button, and the “Add Printer” dialog box pops up. From the list of printer drive,
choose “Hewlett--Packed(HP--GL) ADI 4.2----by Autodesk Inc.”.
Then enter a desired name in the “Add a Description” edit box, for example, “HANS LASER”. Click
OK, and the “AutoCAD Text Windows” dialog box pops up.
Press the Enter key for five times, and the interface goes back to the “Preferences” dialog box. In
the list box, choose the printer name you have entered just now, for example, “HAN’S LASER”, and
choose the “Set Current” command from the right side, and the printer you have defined just now
will be set as the current value.

Settings of AutoCAD R13 drawing output
After making drawings in AutoCAD, you can output them by generating PLT files in HP-GL format.
The detailed steps are as follows:
Setting drawing ouput device
Setting optimization
Selecting unit, darwing breadth and direction
Defining scale, angle and start point of drawings
Previewing drawings
After setting parameters for the first time, AutoCAD will save such parameter settings, so it’s
usually unnecessary to change such settings.
Setting drawing output device
If the “Plot Configuration” dialog box is not opened, choose “File\Print” from the menu bar, and
the “Plot Configuration” dialog box will be displayed.
Click “Device and Default Selection”, and a corresponding dialog box will pop up, then choose the
defined virtual device name, for example, “han's laser”, and click “OK” to back to the “Plot
Configuration” dialog box.
Reference: Defining virtual device for outputting drawings
If the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box is not opened, choose “File\Print…” from the menu
bar, and the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box will pop up.

In the “Additional Parameters” area of the “Plot Configuration” dialog box, there are a series of
options, these options can determine which kind of information to be drawn and where the
information will be sent to. The main parameters include:
Display: when the PLOT command is activated, all contents on the screen will be drawn.
Extents: all objects on the drawing will be drawn, no matter they inside the drawing or outside the
drawing.
Limits: objects on the drawing will be drawn (use the area defined by the LIMITS command).
View: all objects in the pre-defined view area of the drawing will be drawn. You have to define the
view area first.
Window: objects in the window will be drawn. You can draw a window by entering coordinate
values or picking two points.
Hide lines: the 3-dimensinal objects have to be hidden before making drawings from the model
space.
Adjust Area Fill: the boundary for you to draw filling objects, such as polygons and circular areas.
The line width is half of that of the pen width. This option is useful only when your drawing has to
been accurate to half of the pen width.
Pot To File: to output drawing data to files so as to generate PLT files.
During the process of outputting drawings, pay attention to choose Limits and Plot to Files as
shown in the figure.
Setting optimization
bar, and the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box will be displayed.
Click “Optimization”, and the “Optimizing Pen Motion” dialog box pops up, as shown in the figure.
This dialog box is used to optimize movement of pen, thereby reducing unnecessary movements
and reducing drawing time accordingly.
Except “No optimization”, all the other options can increase the optimization level. For example, if
“Adds full motion optimization” is selected, all the other options (except “No optimization”)
above it will be selected simultaneously. Click OK after selection, and the interface returns to the
“Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box.
Usually, for PLT files generated by AutoCAD, the sequence of strokes is related to the sequence of
drawing patterns. In addition, patterns of the same color are always put together, namely, the
software does not process another colors until it finishes processing all the patterns of a same color,
which also complies with the principle of plotter optimization: a kind of pen is used for a color, and

when strokes of the color is finished, another pen is used to draw patterns of another color. If a
pattern includes two colors, black and red, black is usually drawn first and then red.
In actual application, upon different requirements of patterns, you can choose 0, 2 or 4 items of
optimization. Marking speed goes faster as the items of optimization increases, however, some
other problems may occur. Usually, if the patterns to be marked are very fine (e.g. marking of
clocks or watches), just choose 0 items of optimization, namely, no optimization will be made. For
marking of crystals, capacitors and inductors, you can choose 2 or 4 items of optimization.
If 4 items of optimization is chosen, marking speed is higher, but incorrect sequence may occur and
some strokes are connected together. If the distance from the end of a stroke to the start of another
stroke is less than 0.25mm, these two strokes are treated as one stroke, namely, connected
strokes.
If 2 items of optimization is chosen, marking speed is normal, and incorrect sequence may occur,
but no connected strokes occur.
Selecting unit, drawing breadth and direction
bar, and the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box will pop up.
In the “Paper Size and Orientation” option:

The unit “MM” is usually used in working environment of metric system.
Click the “Size” button, and the “Paper Size” dialog box is displayed. In the dialog box, choose
sizes of drawing, as shown in the following figure:

Usually, we use the pre-defined sizes. Length and Height in the USER option are usually the range
of marking (e.g. 100X100mm), which are also the same with the values set by Limits.
If no size matches the range set by Limits, you can manually enter the values of Width and Height.
Click the “OK” button to close the “Paper Size” dialog box and return to the “Plot Configuration”
dialog box.
Defining scale, angle and start point of drawings
bar, and the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box will be displayed.

Set these parameters in “Scale, Rotation and Origin” area.
According to the range of our application, choosing “Scale To Fit” is ok. Since we generally check
the “Limits” for drawing output range and set the paper breadth the same as the plotting range, the
“Scale To Fit” actually already realizes the ratio of 1:1 of plotting to drawing output, thereby it is
able to in proportion import the PLT file correctly in HAN’S LASER MARKING SOFTWARE 6.0
system.
Click the “Rotation and Origin” button, and the “Plot Rotation and Origin” dialog box pops up:
Choose rotation angle and start point of making drawings. In actual application, it’s unnecessary to
change such parameters. Just use the default settings.
In the “Plot Rotation” area, click 0, 90, 180 or 270 to make rotation angle.
In the edit boxes of “X Origin” and “Y Origin”, enter the values for moving from the left lower corner
of drawing to the right upper corner.
Click “OK” to close the dialog box and to return to the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box.
Previewing drawings
If the “Plot Configuration” dialog box is not opened, choose “File\Print” from the menu bar, and
the “Plot Configuration” dialog box is displayed.
In the “Plot Preview” area to realize preview of drawings.
To view more detailed information of the drawing, make sure you have checked Full, and then click
the Preview button.
Press the “End Preview” button to return to the “Plot Configuration” dialog box.
bar, and the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box is displayed.

Click the “File Name” button to go to the “Create Plot File” dialog box (if the “Plot To File” option is
not checked, the “File Name” button will be in grey color, which means the button is invalid. To
make the “File name” button valid, please check “Plot To File”).
Choose the directory of the PLT file, and name the drawing in the “File Name” edit box, as shown in
the figure above. And then click OK to return to the “Print / Plot Configuration” dialog box, and as
a result, the corresponding PLT file will be generated and the system returns to the working status
of AutoCAD.

Overview
This dynamic link library is developed based on the Hans Laser Marking Software V5.3 or higher
version with the purpose of satisfying the special needs of some advanced users in the following
cases:
1. The marking system is only one part of the customer system and the customers are with
strong development abilities, they hope that the marking system can be completely integrated
into theirs system.
2. For the abroad nonstandard users, owing to the problem of communication and distance, this
way is able to effectively solve some automation application problems
3. Other industries or departments can develop their own marking system based on this dynamic
link library.
The same as other marking software, this dynamic link library only supports the EMCC card.
This dynamic link library adopts the API to export the interface, which is the same as the Windows,
the function uses the stdcall statement, which can be used by several development tools, such as
VC++、VB、Delphi、C++ Builder、C＃ etc., the user has to illustrate the call, the methods are as
follow:
1. Call the Windows API function LoadLibrary () to dynamically load DLL.
2. Call the Windows API function GetProcAddress () to acquire the pointer of the function to be
called.
3. Use the function pointer to call the functions in the DLL to complete related performances.
4. When ending the program or will not use the program any more, call the Windows API
function FreeLibrary () to release the dynamic link library.
The name of the software interface dynamic link library: HansAdvInterface.dll
The software provides complete installation diskette; you can use after installing according to the
installation steps. Before using, you have to go to the standard software to do some parameter
settings, such as BOX calibration, marking position calibration, laser setting and so on.

Note: the software interface and marking software can not be used at the same time, if initialize the
machine through the interface when the marking software is running, there will feedback an error
code 1(Another program is running), in this case you have to shut down the marking software or the
calibration software.
Returned value and structure definition
All the function returned values are served as a faired universal error code; the definitions of the
code value are as follow:
